Blimey, they are fast. 

Still weird to see these "GP3 type" cars on this track.

With such big wings I don't sure if they could get close to each others in turn 1 / 2 . I am afraid the race would become another high speed parade like modern F1.

Vips   Incredible lap!

Bummer Marcus!

Good pole Juri.

Top 5 in the GT timing tower with six minutes to go:

I automatically read it with a Jamaican accent in my head.

What might save Ticktum from a penalty is the fact that the marshal was having a problem waving the flags.

Magical lap from Vips. Also great to see an emerging talent from a country not synonymous with Motorsport. Go Estonia!

Good to see more diversity.  But perhaps Estonia was flying under the radar.  Back in Soviet times, the Estonia Soviet Socialist Republic (yuk) was the centre of Soviet motorsport.  I believe the Soviet People's racing car was called an Estonia, or possibly it was the national race series.  Or something.  The works Lada rally cars often had drivers with suspiciously non-Russian (and suspiciously Finnish-sounding) names.  So there may be more of a tradition there than we realised.  And anyway, aren't they just Finns in drag?

Putting aside Ticktum's attitude (which I don't think is necessarily coming out in his comments here), I must admit that the run down to Lisboa on lap 1 will make me slightly nervous. The track modifications should prevent a Floersch-esque accident from happening ever again, which is to be applauded, but there is still scope for a lot of chaos down there and the faster cars only increase the risk of this.

I agree with his sentiment here tbh. I think the addition of DRS is so unnecessary, from both a racing and safety point of view. 

I don't actually like the way these cars look, either. For such a similar spec, the old F3 car looked like a proper racing car (to me). This GP3 just looks like a toy car. But bugger me are they quick. 

Hoping for a safe weekend, and hopefully a well contested fight. The DRS 'could' make things interesting, but I think it'll just come down to who is in second place on the last lap. It will be undefendable.

Some of those Asian WTCR-drivers have the coolest names ever.

Like, KaTo and Wong.

Its especially hilarious that something went W®ong with Wong's car.

Consider me a fan of those two from now on.

Just a Quick question, does anybody else have issues using the livestream Iphone app to cast to a chromecast? The tv shows the livestream app and then just nothing, the app says “unable to cast to ’name of device’”

Works from Opera on the laptop to the TV, crisis averted.
